Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
We take it for granted as we walk along the street, and yet something deep within us hopefully understands that but for the grace of our own circumstances and internal fortitude, we too could be flat-lining, we might be out cold on the pavement and with nobody caring about us, only the sideways glance and the downward stare of derision the only contact being made.
Liverpool Sound and Vision 8.5/10
Art should never be frozen, stuck in a place in which dust crawls and multiplies over the icy cage in which the artist’s endeavour is placed by the well-meaning and the loved-up into a place of no change, of never being able to grow, to adapt, to find another level in which hopefully the art in question will come to mean something different, something more.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
The very model of the unruffled and serenely played, summer days in the sunshine, gently wafting at a short sighted errant bee that might mistake your patterned shirt for a previously untapped exotic flower, your family beside you on the grass and the smells of the frying burger rampaging across the once regimented grass of the local bowling green. For days like this in Bootle, where for too long the stress of being ignored by Government has played on the mind of the local community, it could only be the appearance of the superb Alan Triggs that would weave such a spell of undisturbed composure in the air.

Alan Triggs is a model of calm as he steps on the stage at the Battle of Bands in Bootle’s Community Hub, no beads of sweat massing in numbers upon his lyrical brow, no sign of nerves in his fingers as he plays the guitar; after all this is a man who is seemingly content in his life and his the delivery of his muse; after all why should the man worry when the muse is singing his favourite songs and making him one of the most enjoyed performers in the area.
